...late July a 1908 watercolor of a grizzly, right, by Charles M. Russell sold for $2.3 million at the Coeur d'Alene Art Auction in Reno, Nev., the highest ever paid for a Russell. A painting by Philip R. Goodwin, which a Wisconsin woman said she couldn't unload for $5 at a garage sale, brought in $55,000. Overall, the five-hour auction racked up a record $14 million from investors who jetted in from as far away as Maine and Florida...

"I have an urge to go up there on patrol." The laundry truck returns and Furusho's men unload pillowcases puffed full of clean underwear. Mission accomplished...
When I was in high school, whenever we needed to raise cash for the debate club or the school newspaper, we sold candy bars. We all need to start selling candy bars. You can get these from suppliers at about 50[cents] and unload them for a dollar. The genius is you have to pay for the ones you will inevitably end up eating yourself. Those profits go straight to the economy...
